Legendary star

Chapter 251 Another super giant is born
"This game is really speechless." When the official timeout of the first quarter came, Michaels also rolled his eyes looking at the scores of the two teams on the scoreboard, 10 to 6, this kind of score is too much Rarely, in the 6-minute game, the two sides only scored 3 sports goals, and the rest of the points were all obtained through free throws.The Spurs' defense in the first quarter was suffocating. The Timberwolves were blocked twice for 2 seconds, but even in this case, the Spurs only led the Timberwolves by 24 points.

When all the players on the court are off the court, whether it is the Spurs' starters, or the substitute players on the bench, even Popovich and Steve Kerr are all beaming, although the 4-point advantage It's not too big, but under the high-intensity defense of the Spurs, the Timberwolves had already shown signs of collapse before the official timeout.

At the same time, on the opposite bench, whether it was Kevin Garnett or the team's role players, their faces were all confused. At this time, Timberwolves head coach Philip Sanders also looked anxious. He really has no way to solve the current dilemma facing the Timberwolves, so Philip Sanders, who holds a tactical board in his hand, does not know how to arrange the team's next tactics.

"We can't lose." In this silence, Timberwolves boss Kevin Garnett stood up from the bench. In the previous game, Garnett played very aggrieved under Duncan's defense. , And it's not just Garnett, the Timberwolves' five starting players are defended by the Spurs from the inside out.But in this case, anyone can sink, anyone can lose their fighting spirit, but as the core and leader of the team, Garnett can't, because once even the team leader has no fighting spirit, then the Timberwolves will lose their fighting spirit in this game. You will definitely lose badly.

"In the next games, everyone needs to play more decisively. As long as there is a chance, even if you can't make a shot, you have to shoot." Garnett squeezed the towel in his hand and forced himself to look down at the crowd on the bench. His teammates yelled: "Wally, especially you, where is your calmness and decisiveness in the usual game?"

"Okay, Kevin is right. In the next game, we have to play more resolutely. The Spurs' defense is not that terrible. We are only 4 points behind, and we haven't lost yet." In Garnett's After a roar, head coach Philip Saunders immediately woke up. While cheering for his players, he took the tactical board and began to arrange the team's next tactics.After Garnett's roar, the Timberwolves players finally seemed to be a little more energetic. After seeing the expressions on the players' faces, Philip Sanders also breathed a sigh of relief, although he has already coached this team. It has been 5 seasons for the Timberwolves, but the team has not even broken through the first round of the playoffs, and Philip Saunders is not the kind of talented head coach. He lacks experience in major competitions and lacks the guidance of famous coaches Under such circumstances, Philip Sanders can only learn to be a nanny coach.

"Guys, you played really well in the previous game, so we just need to continue to execute according to the previous tactics." When the official timeout was about to end, Popovich put the tactical board on the board. After leaving behind, he did not make any changes to the previous tactics, but continued to encourage the players who were about to play, and just continue to play according to the tactics arranged before the start of the game.

"Ervin, in the previous games, whether it was the Spurs or the Timberwolves, their offense was very bad, so do you think that after this timeout, they will make corresponding adjustments?" When the two teams After the players stepped onto the court again, amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, Michaels also said with a worried look on his face. ABC TV Network has spent a lot of money on the Spurs side for this year's playoffs live broadcast. This year's regular season Among them, although the Spurs' rhythm is still slow, compared with the previous seasons, the Spurs' games are not so dull. Because of Meng Xu's playing style, this player who is valued by both Magician and Larry Bird, in the While its own popularity has soared, it has also attracted more fans for the Spurs. Now the Spurs have become one of the most popular and watched teams in the United States, but if the Spurs return to the true nature of box office poison, it will not only be ABC TV Net ratings will drop, and I'm afraid Meng Xu's rising popularity will also drop.

"El, in fact, this is the real Spurs. Just like his teacher Larry Brown, defense is what Popovich is best at, and the Spurs are also a team that started with defense, so no matter in the regular season No matter how gorgeous the Spurs' offense is, in the playoffs, Popovich will still choose to trust his best defense. After all, defense can win the championship. This sentence has been the motto of this league since the moment the NBA was born. It’s a wise saying.” After thinking about it for a while, Magic Johnson said something that he didn’t even believe. After all, he had already proved that relying on offense can also win the championship, but in the current league, defense wins. The championship, the offense wins the box office and the fans, is still the mainstream.

"Tim, I must beat you." After re-entering the court, he looked at the opposite of himself, the expressionless Duncan, and now Garnett is also full of confidence. At this time, if he does not stand up, then the Timberwolves It's really over.

"Why is that big man's mental state and temperament different after a timeout?" Seeing Garnett standing beside Duncan not far away, Meng Xu also had a strange feeling at this moment.

"Because Garnett has broken through his shackles under Duncan's oppression, this league has ushered in another super giant with a strength of 95." Just as Meng Xu was puzzled, Anna's voice echoed Meng Xu's. It rang in my ears.

"So what about 95, what about super giants, they will become my stepping stones." In fact, Meng Xu is still a little envious of Garnett in his heart. Meng Xu has experienced Kobe's breakthrough this season, and now he has experienced Seeing Garnett's breakthrough, Meng Xu, while envious of these talented geniuses, could only continue to be brave.

"It's Duncan's stepping stone, not yours. With your current strength, you are not Garnett's opponent, so work hard." After Anna said this kind of words that seemed to be mocking and encouraging, she let it go. No matter how softly Meng Xu was shouting, he didn't continue to speak.

"Sooner or later, all of you will become my stepping stones." After Meng Xu finished speaking in a vicious whisper, he rushed towards Timberwolves point guard Trier Brandon.

"Kevin, from now on, you are qualified to be my opponent." Duncan held the basketball in his hand and sat down fiercely towards Garnett. Although Garnett still failed to block Duncan's back attack in the end, Duncan still felt the changes in Garnett. Nate used to play whatever he wanted, but now Duncan can clearly feel the special aura and oppressive force exuded by Garnett. pressure that can be felt.

"Are you qualified to be your opponent now?" After listening to Duncan's hit, Garnett didn't think it was Duncan's admiration for him, but imposed it on him. The humiliation of myself, it turned out that in the past two years, the object I wanted to surpass, but I never took myself into my heart, and never treated myself as an opponent.

After returning to the offensive end, Garnett asked his teammate Trill Brandon from beyond the 3-point line. Looking at Duncan who was already waiting for him below the free throw line, Garnett only had one thing in his heart. The idea, that is to beat him, knock him down.With this in mind, Garnett dribbled the ball very skillfully and rushed towards Duncan. Seeing this situation, Duncan waved his hand towards Meng Xu who was not far away, signaling that Meng Xu didn't need to switch defenses. Nate.

This time Garnett chose to attack face-up. Although Garnett's strength is also very good, but when playing Duncan with his back, Garnett did not have the slightest advantage, so this time Garnett chose his usual The way he played as a guest small forward, he dribbled the ball in front of Duncan and shook it twice in a row with fake moves. Seeing that Duncan was unmoved, Garnett made another fake move to break through, and then went straight to the ball. He took a half step behind him, and then he jumped up and shot very close to the free throw line. Although Garnett's mid-range and long-range shots were not very good in the past, now, Garnett feels that no one can stop him. Not even Duncan.

"Is this interesting? If there is no opponent, wouldn't it be too lonely." Watching Garnett hit a jumper in front of him, Duncan, who used to be expressionless, showed a smile instead: "It seems that this game I’m going to give it my all in the game.”

Meng Xu, who was in the distance, could see the change in Duncan's face. Maybe it was just like what Anna said, only Duncan could defeat the current Garnett.Similar to how he feels a sense of accomplishment only after defeating Kobe and Tracy McGrady, maybe starting today, Duncan will no longer be lonely, because his biggest opponent is finally on the line.
